Note. — The  official  count  of  the  Legislature  included  the  votes  evi- 
dently cast  for  the  candidates,  though  not  preciselj'  correct,  in  their 
aggregates.  The  county  footings  in  the  above  table  do  not  include  these 
irregular  ballots  in  the  vote,  while  the  grand  footings  are  as  declared  by 
the  Legislature.     Hence  the  discrepancy  in  the  addition.

DECLARATION  OF  INDEPENDENCE. 


When,  in  the  course  of  human  events,  it  becomes  necessary  for  one 
people  to  dissolve  the  political  bands  which  have  connected  them  with 
another,  and  to  assume  among  the  powers  of  the  earth,  the  separate  and 
equal  station  to  which  the  laws  of  nature  and  of  nature's  God  entitle 
them,  a  decent  respect  to  the  opinions  of  mankind  requires  that  they 
should  declare  the  causes  which  impel  them  to  the  separation. 

We  hold  these  truths  to  be  self-evident :  that  all  men  are  created 
equal ;  that  they  are  endowed  by  their  Creator  with  certain  unalienable 
rights  ;  that  among  these  are  life,  liberty,  and  the  pursuit  of  happiness  ; 
that,  to  secure  these  rights,  governments  are  instituted  among  men,  de- 
riving their  just  powers  from  the  consent  of  the  governed  ;  and  that, 
whenever  any  form  of  government  becomes  destructive  of  these  ends,  it 
is  the  right  of  the  people  to  alter  or  abolish  it,  and  to  institute  new  gov- 
ernment, laying  its  foundations  on  such  principles,  and  organizing  its 
powers  in  such  form,  as  to  them  shall  seem  most  likely  to  effect  their 
safety  and  happiness.  Prudence,  indeed,  will  dictate  that  governments, 
long  established,  should  not  be  changed  for  light  and  transient  causes  ; 
and,  accordingly,  all  experience  hath  shown  that  mankind  are  more  dis- 
posed to  suffer,  while  evils  are  sufferable,  than  to  right  themselves  by 
abolishing  the  forms  to  which  they  are  accustomed.  But  when  a  long 
train  of  abuses  and  usurpations,  pursuing  invariably  the  same  object, 
evinces  a  design  to  reduce  them  under  absolute  despotism,  it  is  their 
right,  it  is  their  duty,  to  throw  off  such  government,  and  to  provide  new 
guards  for  their  future  security.  Such  has  been  the  patient  sufferance  of 
the  colonies,  and  such  is  now  the  necessity  which  constrains  them  to  alter 
their  former  systems  of  government.  The  history  of  the  present  king  of 
Great  Britain  is  a  history  of  repeated  injuries  and  usurpations,  all  having 
in  direct  object  the  establishment  of  an  absolute  tyranny  over  these 
states.     To  prove  this,  let  facts  be  submitted  to  a  candid  world. 

He  has  refused  his  assent  to  laws  the  most  wholesome  and  necessary 
for  the  public  good. 

He  has  forbidden  his  governors  to  pass  laws  of  immediate  and  pressing 
importance,  unless  suspended  in  their  operations  till  his  assent  should  be 


214  DECLAKATION  OF  INDEPENDENCE. 

obtained;  and,  when  so  suspended,  he  has  utterly  neglected  to  attend  to 
them. 

He  has  refused  to  pass  other  laws  for  the  accommodation  of  largo  dis- 
tricts of  people,  unless  those  people  would  relinquish  the  right  of  repre- 
sentation in  the  legislature — a  right  inestimable  to  them,  and  formidable 
to  tyrants  only. 

He  has  called  together  legislative  bodies  at  places  unusual,  uncomfort- 
able, and  distant  from  the  repository  of  their  public  records,  for  the  sole 
purpose  of  fatiguing  them  into  compliance  with  his  measures. 

He  has  dissolved  representative  houses  repeatedly,  for  opposing,  with 
manly  firmness,  his  invasions  on  the  rights  of  the  people. 

He  has  refused,  for  a  long  time  after  such  dissolutions,  to  cause  others 
to  be  elected;  whereby  the  legislative  powers,  incapable  of  annihilation, 
have  returned  to  the  people  at  large  for  their  exercise;  the  state  remain- 
ing, in  the  mean  time,  exposed  to  all  the  dangers  of  invasion  from  with- 
out and  convulsions  within. 

He  has  endeavored  to  prevent  the  population  of  these  states;  for  that 
purpose  obstructing  the  laws  of  naturalization  of  foreigners,  refusing  to 
pass  others  to  encourage  their  migration  thither,  and  raising  the  condi- 
tions of  new  appropriations  of  lands. 

He  has  obstructed  the  administration  of  justice,  by  refusing  his  assent 
to  laws  for  establishing  judiciary  powers. 

He  has  made  judges  dependent  on  his  will  alone,  for  the  tenure  of 
their  ofiices,  and  the  amount  and  payment  of  their  salaries. 

He  has  erected  a  multitude  of  new  offices,  and  sent  hither  swarms  of 
officers  to  harass  our  people,  and  eat  out  their  substance. 

He  has  kept  among  us,  in  time  of  peace,  standing  armies,  without  the 
consent  of  our  legislatures. 

He  has  affected  to  render  the  military  independent  of,  and  superior  to, 
the  civil  power. 

He  has  combined  with  others  to  subject  us  to  a  jurisdiction  foreign  to 
our  constitution,  and  unacknowledged  by  our  laws;  giving  his  assent  to 
their  acts  of  pretended  legislation. 

For  quartering  large  bodies  of  armed  troops  among  us; 

For  protecting  them,  by  a  mock  trial,  from  punishment  for  any  mur- 
ders which  they  should  commit  on  the  inhabitants  of  these  states; 

For  cutting  off  our  trade  with  all  parts  of  the  world; 

For  imposing  taxes  on  us  without  our  consent; 

For  depriving  us,  in  many  cases,  of  the  benefit  of  trial  by  jury; 


DECLARATION  OF  INDEPENDENCE.  215 

For  transporting  us  beyond  seas  to  be  tried  for  pretended  offences; 

For  abolishing  the  free  system  of  English  laws  in  a  neighboring  prov- 
ince, establishing  therein  an  arbitrary  government,  and  enlarging  its 
boundaries  so  as  to  render  it  at  once  an  example  and  fit  instrument  for 
introducing  the  same  absolute  rule  into  these  colonies; 

For  taking  away  our  charters,  abolishing  our  most  valuable  laws,  and 
altering,  fundamentally,  the  forms  of  our  governments; 

For  suspending  our  own  legislatures,  and  declaring  themselves  invested 
■with  power  to  legislate  for  us  in  all  cases  whatsoever. 

He  has  abdicated  government  here,  by  declaring  us  out  of  his  protec- 
tion, and  waging  war  against  us. 

He  has  plundered  our  seas,  ravaged  our  coasts,  burnt  our  towns,  and 
destroyed  the  lives  of  our  people. 

He  is,  at  this  time,  transporting  large  armies  of  foreign  mercenaries  to 
complete  the  works  of  death,  desolation,  and  tyranny,  already  begun, 
with  circumstances  of  cruelty  and  perfidy  scarcely  paralleled  in  the  most 
barbarous  ages,  and  totally  unworthy  the  head  of  a  civilized  nation. 

He  has  constrained  our  fellow-citizens,  taken  captive  on  the  high  seas, 
to  bear  arms  against  their  country,  to  become  the  executioners  of  their 
friends  and  brethren,  or  to  fall  themselves  by  their  hands. 

He  has  excited  domestic  insurrections  amongst  us,  and  has  endeavored 
to  bring  on  the  inhabitants  of  our  frontiers  the  merciless  Indian  savages, 
whose  known  rule  of  warfare  is  an  undistinguished  destruction  of  all 
ages,  sexes,  and  conditions. 

In  every  stage  of  these  oppressions,  we  have  petitioned  for  redress  in 
the  most  humble  terms.  Our  repeated  petitions  have  been  answered  only 
by  repeated  injury.  A  prince,  whose  character  is  thus  marked  by  every 
act  which  may  define  a  tyrant,  is  unfit  to  be  the  ruler  of  a  free  people. 

Nor  have  we  been  wanting  in  attentions  to  our  British  brethren.  We 
have  warned  them,  from  time  to  time,  of  the  attempts,  by  their  legisla- 
ture, to  extend  an  unwarrantable  jurisdiction  over  us.  We  have  reminded 
them  of  the  circumstances  of  our  emigration  and  settlement  here.  We 
have  appealed  to  their  native  justice  and  magnanimity,  and  we  have 
conjured  them,  by  the  ties  of  our  common  kindred,  to  disavow  these 
usurpations,  which  would  inevitably  interrupt  our  connections  and  corres- 
pondence. They,  too,  have  been  deaf  to  the  voice  of  justice  and  of  con- 
sanguinity. We  must,  therefore,  acquiesce  in  the  necessity  which  de- 
nounces our  separation,  and  hold  them,  as  we  hold  the  rest  of  mankind, 
enemies  in  war,  in  peace,  friends. 


216  DECLARATION  OF  ESTDEPENDENCE. 

TVe,  therefore,  the  Representatives  of  the  United  States  of  America,  in 
General  Congress  assembled,  appealing  to  the  Supreme  Judge  of  the 
world  for  the  rectitude  of  our  intentions,  do,  in  the  name  and  by  the  au- 
thority of  the  good  people  of  these  colonies,  solemnly  publish  and  declare 
that  these  United  Colonies  are,  and  of  right  ought  to  be,  free  and  inde- 
pendent states;  that  they  are  absolved  from  all  allegiance  to  the  British 
crown,  and  that  all  political  connection  between  them  and  the  state  of 
Great  Britain  is,  and  ought  to  be,  totally  dissolved;  and  that,  as  free 
and  independent  states,  they  have  full  power  to  levy  war,  conclude  peace, 
contract  alliances,  establish  commerce,  and  to  do  all  other  acts  and  things 
which  independent  states  may  of  right  do.  And,  for  the  support  of  this 
declaration,  with  a  firm  reliance  on  the  protection  of  Divine  Providence, 
we  mutually  pledge  to  each  other  our  lives,  our  fortunes,  and  our  sacred 
honor. 


PROCLAMATION  OF  EMANCIPATION. 

BY   PRESIDENT   LINCOLN. 


Whkreas,  Oa  the  '22d  day  of  September,  in  the  year  of  our  Lord 
eighteen  hundred  sixty-two,  a  Proclauiation  was  issued  by  the  President 
of  the  United  States,  containing,  among  other  things,  the  following,  to 
wit : 

That  on  the  1st  day  of  January,  in  the  year  of  our  Lord  eighteen 
hundred  sixty-three,  all  persons  held  as  slaves  within  any  State  or 
designated  part  of  a  State,  the  people  whereof  shall  then  be  in  rebellion 
against  the  United  States,  shall  be  then,  thenceforward  and  forever  free, 
and  the  Executive  Government  of  the  United  States,  including  the  mili- 
tary and  naval  authority  thereof,  will  recognize  and  maintain  the  free- 
dom of  such  persons,  and  will  do  no  act  or  acts  to  repress  such  persons  or 
any  of  them  in  any  effort  they  may  make  for  their  actual  freedom:  that 
the  Executive  will  on  the  first  day  of  January  aforesaid,  by  proclama- 
tion, designate  the  States  and  parts  of  States,  if  any,  in  which  the  people 
therein  respectively  shall  then  bo  in  rebellion  against  the  United  States; 
and  the  fact  that  any  Statu  or  the  people  thereof  shall  on  that  day  be  in 
good  faith  represented  in  the  Congress  of  the  United  States  by  members — 
chosen  thereto  at  elections  wherein  a  majority  of  the  qualified  voters  of 
such  state  shall  have  participated — shall,  in  the  absence  of  strong  coun- 
tervailing testimony,  be  doomed  conclusive  evidence  that  such  State  and 
the  people  thereof  are  not  in  rebellion  against  the  United  States; 

Now  therefore  I,  Abraham  Lincoln,  President  of  the  United  States, 
by  virtue  of  the  power  in  me  vested,  as  Commander-in-Chief  of  the  Army 
and  Navy  of  the  United  States,  in  time  of  the  actual  armed  rebellion 
against  the  authority  and  government  of  the  United  States,  and  as  a  fit 
and  necessary  war  measure  do,  on  this  first  day  of  Jjuuiary  in  the  year  of 
our  Lord  one  thousand  eight  hundred  and  sixty-three,  and  in  accordance 
with  my  purpose  so  to  do,  publicly  proclaimed  for  the  full  period  of  one 
hundred  days  from  the  day  first  above  mentioned,  order  and  designate  as 
the  States  and  parts  of  States  wherein  the  people  thereof  respectively  are 
19 


218  PROCLAMATION  OF  EMANCIPATION. 

this  day  in  rebellion  against  the  United  States,  the  following,  to  wit : — 
Arkansas,  Texas,  Louisiana,  except  the  parislies  of  St.  Bernard,  Plaque- 
mines, Jefferson,  St.  John,  St.  Charles,  St.  James,  Ascension,  Assump- 
tion, Terre  Bonne,  Lafourche,  St.  Alary,  St.  Martin  and  Orleans,  including 
the  city  of  New  Orleans;  Mississippi,  Alabama,  Florida,  Georgia,  South 
Carolina,  North  Carolina,  and  Virginia,  except  the  forty-eight  counties 
designated  as  West  Virginia,  and  also  the  counties  of  Berkeley,  Aocomac, 
Northampton,  Elizabeth  City,  York,  Princess  Ann  and  Norfolk,  including 
the  cities  of  Norfolk  and  Portsmouth,  and  which  excepted  parts  are  for 
the  present  left  precisely  as  if  this  proclamation  were  not  issued.  And 
by  virtue  of  the  power  and  for  the  purpose  aforesaid  I  do  order  and  de- 
clare that  all  persons  held  as  slaves  within  said  designated  States  and 
parts  of  States,  are,  and  henceforward  shall  be  free,  and  that  the  Execu- 
tive Government  of  the  United  States,  including  the  military  and  naval 
authorities  thereof,  will  recognize  and  maintain  the  freedom  of  said  per- 
sons, and  I  do  hereby  enjoin  upon  these  same  people  so  declared  to  bo 
free,  to  abstain  from  all  violence,  unless  in  necessary  self-defence.  And 
I  recommend  to  them  in  all  cases  when  allowed,  to  labor  faithfully  for 
reasonable  wages;  and  I  further  declare  and  make  known  that  such  per- 
sons of  suitable  conditions  will  be  received  into  the  armed  service  of  the 
United  States,  to  garrison  forts,  positions,  stations  and  other  places,  and 
to  man  vessels  of  all  sorts  in  said  service.  And  upon  this  act,  sincerely 
believed  to  be  an  act  of  justice  warranted  by  the  Constitution,  upon  mili- 
tary necessity,  I  invoke  the  considerate  judgment  of  mankind,  and  the 
gracious  favor  of  Almighty  God. 

In  witness  whereof,  I  have  hereunto  set  my  hand  and  caused  the  seal 
of  the  United  States  to  be  afiBxed. 

Done  at  the  city  of  Washington,  this  first  day  of  January,  in  the  year 
of  our  Lord  one  thousand  eight  hundred  and  sixty-three,  and  of  the  Inde- 
pendence of  the  United  States  of  America,  the  eighty -seventh.

other,  and  both  to  be  styled  the  Legislature  of  Maine,  and  the  style  of 
their  acts  and  laws,  shall  be,  "Be  it  enacted  by  the  senate  and  house  of  rep- 
resentatives in  legislature  assembled." 

Sec.  2.  The  house  of  representatives  shall  consist  of  [f  not  less  than 
one  hundred  or  more  than  two  hundred]  members,  to  be  elected  by  the 
qualified  electors  for  one  year  from  the  day  next  preceding  the  annual 
meeting  of  the  legislature.  The  legislature,  which  shall  first  be  convened 
under  this  constitution,  shall,  on  or  before  the  fifteenth  day  of  August,  in 
the  year  of  our  Lord  one  thousand  eight  hundred  and  twenty-one,  and 
the  legislature,  within  every  subsequent  period  of  at  most  ten  years  and 
at  least  five,  cause  the  number  of  the  inhabitants  of  the  state  to  be  ascer- 
tained, exclusive  of  foreigners  not  naturalized,  and  Indians  not  taxed. 
The  number  of  representatives  shall,  at  the  several  periods  of  making 
such  enumeration,  be  fixed  and  apportioned  among  the  several  counties, 
as  near  as  may  be,  according  to  the  number  of  inhabitants,  having  regard 
to  the  relative  increase  of  population.  The  number  of  representatives 
shall,  on  said  first  apportionment,  be  not  less  than  one  hundred  nor  more

which  shall  thereafter  be  had,  and  at  every  subsequent  period  of  ten

dred inhabitants,  shall  be  classed,  as  conveniently  as  may  be,  into  dis- 
tricts containing  that  number,  and  so  as  not  to  divide  towns;  and  each 
such  district  may  elect  one  representative;  and,  when  on  this  apportion- 
ment the  number  of  representatives  shall  be  two  hundred,  a  different 
apportionment  shall  take  place  upon  the  above  principle;  and,  in  case 
the  fifteen  hundred  shall  be  too  largo  or  too  small  to  apportion  all  the 
representatives  to  any  county,  it  shall  be  so  increased  or  diminished  as  to 
give  the  number  of  representatives  according  to  the  above  rule  and  pro- 
portion; and  whenever  any  town  or  towns,  plantation  or  plantations,  not 
entitled  to  elect  a  representative,  shall  determine  against  a  classification 
with  any  other  town  or  plantation,  the  legislature  may,  at  each  appor- 
tionment of  representatives,  on  the  application  of  such  town  or  planta- 
tion, authorize  it  to  elect  a  representative  for  such  portion  of  time  and 
such  periods,  as  shall  be  equal  to  its  portion  of  representation;  and  the 
right  of  representation,  so  established,  shall  not  be  altered  until  the  next 
general  apportionment.

continue  to  have  the  same  jurisdiction  as  if  the  said  district  had  still  re- 
mained a  part  of  the  commonwealth.  And  this  commonwealth  shall  have 
the  same  remedies  within  the  proposed  state,  as  it  now  has,  for  the  collec-
